Most often seen as one volume in the Rhodesiana Reprint Series, this is the scarce first edition, containing 140pp., 2 pp. adverts, and a fold-out map of Southern Rhodesia. In seventeen chapters, with titles such as Up-Country, Gold, Coach and Rail, Wild Beasts, The Story of Mazoe, and Rhodes, the book evokes memories of old Africa, a time when pioneers were breaking new ground, and early settlements were being established during a time made exciting due to the discoveries of diamonds and gold, and the prospect of wealth on the land ready for farming and development.

Condition: brown boards showing wear at corners and spine ends, end-papers clean, scattered foxing throughout the textblock, and binding cracked at p.97. A well read, but still good copy.
